The British political system, though often criticised, has been the
model and the inspiration for many national governments world-wide.
Yet it is now at the centre of controversial debate within Britain
itself. Over the 130 years since Bagehot wrote his English
Constitution, no historian has investigated in depth how it has
evolved in all its dimensions, and few political scientists have
looked further back than the Second World War. This is the first
book to provide a detailed explanation of how the British political
system came to acquire the form it has today. Brian Harrison's
broad-ranging, authorative analysis runs continuously from the
1860s to the 1990s. He investigates such topics as civil liberties,
pressure groups, parliament, elections and the parties, central and
local government, cabinet, and monarchy. He examines the
international and cultural influences on the working of the
political system, and concludes by surveying current proposals for
reform. With an ample guide to further reading, and a full
chronology of leading events, this book will be essential reading
for students of politics and history.
